Chapter 743: Xiang Shaoyun Versus Di Lin

Xiang Shaoyun and Di Lin started their battle right off the bat without exchanging too many words. They had grown up together, and they knew each other well. Both knew that without defeating the other party, his own life would be lost. As Xiang Shaoyun wasn’t fighting with a weapon, Di Lin fought bare-handed as well. The moment the battle started, he used a powerful high-tier battle technique.

Skyburn Palm!

It was a terrifying palm technique capable of raging the sky and splitting the earth, a technique Situ Mingyu had personally imparted upon him. The technique was fierce and domineering. Wherever the palm reached, a torrential flame would reach the sky.

On the other hand, Xiang Shaoyun assumed a claw stance and used his Seven Scorching Sun Claws. Each claw was incredibly incisive. Moreover, his attacks contained the concepts of reducing complexity to simplicity, allowing the attacks to be even greater. 

He matched speed with speed, while Yun Flame was in charge of contending against his opponent’s purple flame. His claw energies tore the incoming palm energies as an intense battle erupted between the two.

In the blink of an eye, the two exchanged over 100 moves. The disciples watched the ongoing battle with their eyes opened wide in concentration. Even so, many were unable to clearly see the moves of the two on the ring.

They only saw a constant blur and the numerous brilliant eruptions. They couldn’t even see how Xiang Shaoyun and Di Lin were attacking. The longer the battle dragged on, the more alarmed Xiang Shaoyun was. He had not imagined that Di Lin was really quite strong. Moreover, Di Lin’s moves were fluid enough to contend against peak Emperors.

Additionally, Di Lin’s purple flame was even slightly more powerful than Yun Flame, to the point he was hurting from the flame. However, Di Lin wasn’t feeling much better either.

One ought to know that just a few years ago, Xiang Shaoyun was still a weak scholar that probably couldn’t even kill a fowl. The only thing he could do was fool around. Even back then, Di Lin was already a Skysoar Realm cultivator. He could easily slap Xiang Shaoyun to death with a wave of his hand.

After a few years, Xiang Shaoyun had reached a level where he could fight Di Lin evenly. That was something Di Lin had a hard time accepting.

“Di Lin, you have a higher cultivation level. Is this all you’re capable of? If you don’t show something better, I won’t hold back anymore,” said Xiang Shaoyun as they fought.

With Xiang Shaoyun’s speed, this form of combat was rather easy for him. However, he did not wish to end the battle like this. He wanted Di Lin to be thoroughly convinced about his own death.

“This is only a warm-up. Since you are in such a rush to die, I’ll give you a hand,” said Di Lin as he pulled away from Xiang Shaoyun before unleashing a new attack.

The purple flame on his body soared, turning him into an incredibly dazzling purple sun.  He activated all eight of his stars at the same time, pushing himself to his limits.

Skyburn Reincarnation Palm!

He directly used the final stance of the Skyburn Palm, sending out numerous powerful palms. The palms were akin to purple suns that crashed forth toward Xiang Shaoyun, and they enveloped the entirety of the ring, leaving no space for Xiang Shaoyun to dodge.

Even around the ring, the spectators felt the might of that attack. It was strong enough to match any peak ninth-stage Dragon Ascension Realm cultivator. In other words, Di Lin’s combat prowess had leaped four levels ahead of him, proving that he was worthy of being the leader of the Di Alliance.

Sky Splitting Claw!

Facing that move, Xiang Shaoyun no longer hesitated and used his Seven Scorching Sun Claws’ final stance.

His sole flame star would have a hard time contending against Di Lin’s eight flame stars. However, he used the profundity of flame alongside his technique, allowing him to fight Di Lin evenly.

The profundity of flame allowed one to manipulate any flame like it was an extension of one’s body. Since comprehending the profundity of flame, Xiang Shaoyun had fully fused with Yun Flame. He could now release 100 percent of Yun Flame’s power.

On the other hand, Di Lin had yet to comprehend the profundity of flame even though he had eight flame stars. Thus, he couldn’t fully unleash the power of his unique flame. Because of that, his flame attacks hadn’t been able to threaten Xiang Shaoyun. 

Yet another round of intense exchanges broke out, and the two were still evenly matched.

Xiang Shaoyun continued provoking Di Lin repeatedly with words, trying to make Di Lin show all his trump cards. As for Di Lin, the longer the battle dragged on, the less calm he was. He had not imagined that Xiang Shaoyun’s flame manipulation had reached such a level, making it hard for him to suppress his opponent.

One ought to know that Di Lin was already trying his best. Not only was Xiang Shaoyun provoking Di Lin with words, his actions were also pressuring Di Lin greatly.

Making use of his speed, Xiang Shaoyun attacked from all directions, his claw attacks arriving from numerous tricky angles. Di Lin’s clothes were ripped apart, revealing his inner armor.

Numerous bloody gashes covered Di Lin’s arms. He was practically hissing in pain from his wounds. When the disciples around the ring saw how Xiang Shaoyun was suppressing Di Lin, they concluded that Di Lin’s defeat was already certain.

The Overlord Legion members shouted in excitement, “The overlord will be victorious! The overlord will be victorious!”

Their morale surged, and their shouts were imposing, pressuring the Di Alliance so much that none of the alliance’s members dared to say anything.

“Junior brother, stop holding back! Show him what you’re made of!” Situ Yan shouted when she couldn’t watch any longer.

For her, Di Lin was definitely much stronger. She hoped Di Lin could show enough strength for a one-sided victory, dealing Xiang Shaoyun a crushing defeat. Little did she know, Di Lin was really trying his best. The only thing he was still holding back were the few killing techniques he knew.

Her encouragement failed to encourage him. Instead, his moves grew more messy, making him look battered and exhausted. The moment Xiang Shaoyun saw an opening, he clawed at him mercilessly. But right as his attack was about to reach, a dangerous feeling rose within him.

Shit! He cursed inwardly as he attempted to withdraw. However, he was too slow.

A sneer appeared on Di Lin’s face as Di Lin’s stance shifted. The opening he had revealed had suddenly turned into a fatal danger for Xiang Shaoyun. A curtain of flame surrounded Xiang Shaoyun from all sides, and using both arms and legs, Di Lin unleashed a barrage of attacks on Xiang Shaoyun.

“Xiang Shaoyun, die!” Di Lin roared as he attacked mercilessly, trying to kill Xiang Shaoyun.

Xiang Shaoyun had not expected that Di Lin would be so crafty. He had actually used himself as bait, allowing him to release such a powerful counterattack. Unable to dodge, Xiang Shaoyun could only push his defenses to his limits to protect his vitals.
